Seven-run third inning propels Rays to win over O's
Baseball Betting Lines
07/19/2010 -
Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wade Davis threw eight strong innings and was
backed by a seven-run third inning, as the Tampa Bay Rays crushed the
Baltimore Orioles, 8-1, in the opener of a three-game series at Camden Yards.
Davis (7-9) held the Orioles to one run on seven hits and one walk to get the
victory for a second consecutive start. His eight innings pitched are a
season high.
Jason Bartlett had a two-run single in the third inning and finished 2-for-3
for Tampa Bay, which was coming off a series loss to the Yankees in the Bronx.
Evan Longoria went 3-for-5 with an RBI.
Orioles starter Chris Tillman (1-4) didn't make it through three full innings
and was the victim of the Rays' outburst. He was responsible for giving up all
eight Rays runs, allowing seven hits and walking four while recording just
eight outs.
Cesar Izturis went 2-for-2 and drove in the lone run for the Orioles, who were
swept in three games by Toronto over the weekend. Baltimore scored just five
runs in that series.
Ben Zobrist put the Rays ahead with an RBI ground-rule double in the second,
and Tampa Bay blew the game open in the third. Longoria led off with a single,
Tillman hit Carlos Pena with a pitch, and Matt Joyce lined a double to right
to plate the inning's first run.
John Jaso worked a walk to load the bases, with still nobody out, prompting a
coaching visit to the mound. But Tillman continued to struggle, walking B.J.
Upton to force in a run. Bartlett followed with a single to center to bring in
two and leave runners on the corners for Sean Rodriguez, whose sacrifice bunt
brought Upton home.
Tillman retired Zobrist to set up a possible escape from the inning, but
Carl Crawford tripled, bringing Bartlett in from second base. That was it for
Tillman, who was replaced by Matt Albers. Longoria returned to the plate for a
second time and singled in Crawford to make it an 8-0 game before Albers
struck out Pena.
Albers pitched 3 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, but the massive inning was
all the Rays needed, and there was little scoring for the rest of the game.
Izturis put the Orioles on the scoreboard with an RBI single in the fifth.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
